A University of Nebraska Medical Center professor said Thursday that low-income people want to quit smoking more but have a harder time doing it.
Dr. Mohammad Siahpush said data analyzed since 2002 proves that even when a low-income person has access to medicine or smoking cessation programs, the stress of financial duress makes it harder for that person to quit.
Siahpush's findings were published this year in the journal "Addiction."
